“Easily one of the highlights of my business trip. I’m so glad we stopped here. The sangria was perfect and the tuna ceviche was unreal. Even though we stayed a bit, service was continuously friendly and talked us into a coffee as well. Also, the portions were much more realistic and refreshing.“

“Food was okay, this place has had a decent amount of buzz around it so maybe expectations were too high. The main parts of the meal were good, but the sides (rice, elote, waffle fries -really round sliced potato) all felt very generic and bland. The shrimp tacos were the highlight!“

“Have been coming here for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. I've had their fajita, pastor, and barbacoa. All meats are very flavorful and delicious. Their quesadillas always hit the spot. Since my family is bigger now, we tend to get the special plate. It consists of a plate of meat with melted cheese on top and a stick of tortillas. If you're not a cheese person, you can get the regular plate, which is the meat and tortillas.“

“Post HTX food hall location. They usually keep a long line but moves it pretty fast. I got their Fuego fries with birria and it was delicious! The fries were nice and crispy and seasoned, and the meat was good as well. This is probably my new favorite dish with them.“

“I was visiting Houston and my friends took me to Fisheria. I was delighted, the corn tamale is delicious, the lemon pompano and the trio of empanadas are highly recommended!! The service from our waitress was fantastic. Thank you Celeste for your attention.“

“My first time here , the was amazing in every way food was delicious with the right spices . Had Los tacos birras and margaritas . Definitely will be more visits . Humberto showed his great owner skills and greeting all of us in the group made it feel like when I was a child playing Loretta with my grandma wish she was here to enjoy such a place . Brought me so much memories“

“I liked the food (the trompo tacos) they won't be the best I've ever eaten but they are good, they are worth trying, logically there are more dishes and they look delicious but since it was the first time I eat there I only speak for the tacos So far, the service is very good or at least the waitress who served me gave her best, she deserves a 10, and the place is not luxurious but at least it is a very comfortable place to eat (you feel very comfortable) yes I recommend it“

“Living at Aris for the past two years has truly been an exceptional experience. From the warm welcome of champagne in the lobby to the thoughtful gesture of breakfast before starting the day, the attention to detail here is unparalleled. I am consistently impressed by the swift and efficient handling of deliveries and everyday needs, thanks in large part to the exceptional service provided by our dedicated concierge team, Rotlhe and Richard. Additionally, Marlene made the move-in process an absolute breeze, adding to the seamless experience of settling into this wonderful community.The convenience of living at Aris extends beyond the walls of our apartments. With an array of restaurants within close proximity and breathtaking views from my own apartment, every aspect of daily life here feels like a dream. What truly sets Aris apart and keeps me eagerly renewing my lease year after year are the engaging resident events and the genuine friendliness of the staff. It's not just a place to live; it's a true community where residents are valued and cared for. I couldn't imagine calling anywhere else home. Simply put, I love it here!“

“First time in this place, my experience was delicious. It is a taqueria run by its owners, Mrs. Juanita and Mr. Hector. I know their names because I asked the lady her name because she herself served us. They made us feel very comfortable explaining the dishes and breakfasts. that they served, we ordered some red chilaquiles with fried eggs and some ranchero eggs. They give you the option between refried or black beans. The dishes came accompanied with 4 handmade corn tortillas. The only recommendation I would make to the owners would be to set the prices of We paid $33 for the dishes for 2 breakfasts, 2 canned cokes and a coffee. We didn't know the prices. The place is very clean. The food is excellent. The service is 100% good. I really recommend that you come and try the homemade food they serve here. I will return. try the ribs, they looked very delicious ?“

“This is my favorite place to get tacos by far! There isn't a lot of room inside the restaurant for you to sit and eat but you can eat in the car LOL. Expect long lines when you go to eat at brother's tacos. But it's only because their food is delicious!Parking: Parking is very limited and most people end up parking on the side of the street. However, the last time I was there was about a week ago. Ok my last visit I did notice a city worker putting fines on windshields of cars that were parked on the side of the curb in the street. Previously I had never seen this.“

“First time trying this place out. It’s a small location but the food is tasty and authentic. The house specialty is the birria and it’s yummy. The charro beans they bring with your chips and salsa are delicious. I had an horchata and it’s fresh made. I definitely recommend this place. Will for sure be coming back.“

“Hands down my favorite food truck! The food is always amazing and the service is fantastic!! I really enjoy the interactions with the family and they love my dog too! I always recommend them to everyone looking for good tacos or a delicious torta!Parking: The food truck is in a parking lot. You can park right in front of the truck with no worries. Parking is not a concern at all.“

“If your unsure what to get id suggest the mixta plate but be specific that it's the tacos one I've had a mix up and they thought I meant the papa one but it's understandable since I did order over the phone so they probably misheard me“

“The people operating the food truck were kind and it took roughly a bit over 5 mins to get my food after ordering. This is a to-go place, there are no tables or seats to sit and enjoy your meal. I didn't have any issues parking on a Saturday morning. I tried their breakfast tacos and they were good but I don't think the flour tortilla was homemade. Not a deal breaker for me but it was missing that extra touch. However, the tacos were at a great price point, I spent ~$15 for six of them. I would consider them again if I'm hungry near EaDo.“

“Owners were so welcoming not to mention the food was delicious, made to order, and reasonably priced compared to what other birria places are charging. As well they gifted us a Mexican Coke as a welcome treat for being first time customers there! Lovely family owned stand and will definitely be back for more!“

“We showed up middle of the day after a long flight. Chris was super helpful with recos and menu guidance. His food was even better! First time having birria tacos, i’m now wrecked, Chris set the bar high. Gotta get the corn in a cup, they put the other corn-in-a-cup out of business.“

“First and foremost, the food was amazing. There was a slight language barrier which I actually enjoy because that probably means I am getting something authentic which is exactly what I was looking for. The seats were pretty small with a top sitting space equivalent to a kindergarten desk chair. The bathroom was in the back of an attached bar room down a long hallway that didn't exactly feel safe. When going to the bathroom and navigating through the bar, I passed by employees who didn't acknowledge me with a smile, nod, or even step to the side to let me through. I ordered the street tacos with a sampling of each meat and tried multiple salsas. The portions were small but very tasty. They offer your standard jauritos drinks but I ordered a fresh made pineapple juice which was delicious. The main restaurant interior was designed to imitate the streets, colors, and style of Mexico. Pretty neat. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican cuisine in the city, give it a try.“

“Been coming here for years now, never disappoints and the lady who works there is an absolute sweetheart. I wish more people knew about this place and that this place got the popularity that it deserves. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a treat and is in the “

“The torta is phenomenal. Fresh ingredients and fluffy bread. The tacos, especially the beef and chicken, are truly amazing! The salsa roja has a major kick and is a great addition. The salsa verde has a nuanced and delicious depth of flavor making it Goldilocks between spice and taste. Highly recommended!“

“Comfort place to hang and drink. This place might look small and hidden but has so much to offer. Starts with a great atmosphere, great drinks, great food options and overall great bartenders. Parking: it's limited, but also has street parking. Price: low-average Seating: indoor and outdoor Has great music playing and a cool dancing spot.“

“I found out about this place through an instargram reel. I finally got the chance to try them and they are delicious the torta and the quesadilla are so good. But the margarita mango is the best!! I would definitely be back ! It was nice, clean and not so busy place.“

“I am not from the area, not even from Texas! The food, service, and ambience here are great and I am a little tired from my 3.5-hour flight.Quality starts from the top in terms of leadership. Everyone is pleasant and just formal enough to be professional enough but toned down to be family-friendly. Diana is the manager and she leads by example. If she were to leave the shoes would be too big. Our server, Juan, is a great ambassador for the restaurant and menu; a great server.Compared to where I live I am happy not to hear foul language from the tables around us. Pleasant music is playing too.What a great place to eat. Sincerely.“

“Wow! Amazing food! The food is fresh and delicious, great prices and great service. I drove 35 mins to get here and worth every minute. Will definitely be back for more. They have plenty of seating and everything you need to have and amazing meal. You can buy it by pound or taco, and they have all the goodness you could want. Carnitas. Cueritos. Buche. Lengua. Patas de puerco. And much more! Enjoy!“

“Christian atmosphere good food Ruth, one of the best waitresses at this place, always greets you with a smile. Blessings, I highly recommend this place. The huevitos rancheros are my favorite, nowhere in Houston, they are prepared like they are here.“

“My rating is slightly more than just four stars because of the good flavor of the food.I had carnitas and asked for pork skin to be added. The server piled on the pork skin so it seemed that I had more of the skin than actual meat. The taste however, was good on both.I also ordered menudo and asked for corn (hominy) to be added. The server piled on the corn so it seemed that half of the container was corn and not menudo. Once again, the taste was very good. I will say that it did have a little too much grease on the top of the soup though.I think the flavors are there but what I received based on the above, could have given me a better overall experience. I went there for carnitas and menudo which should have been what I received the most of and not the sides (pork skin and hominy).Fix the ratios of what is served and this would definitely be a five star location!“

“This is the first time I visit Marcos Seafood. My dining experience was great. I had a Vuelve a la Vida cocktail and it was delicious. Then I had the fried shrimp and fish. All food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was nice with good music. The price to dine here is very reasonable. I definitely recommend this place.“

“I ordered the Enchilada plate and it was delicious. The service was excellent and welcoming! El Tejano Mexican Restaurant has a great vibe and excellent food. I will be a regular customer from now on. If you want authentic Mexican food of great quantity and quality, I highly recommend this establishment!!“

“Allie was very attentive. She was checking on us every 5 minutes. She was very sweet. The only problem I had is when we first got here there were plenty of tables outside and we told them we want to eat out there. The gentleman who seated us said he didn't think that was possible. I of course ask why. He said Quote I don't know .? all in all Allie made everything alright.“

“I was looking for tortas with amazing beef because I don't like them too dry or with too much fat. I got a torta and tacos, both of which are my favorites! Especially with green sauce! ? No dryness or excess fat. They provided alert coasters, which are PERFECT for deaf people like me. They also accept cards. Success!“

“I come here regularly. I've had the zanahoria taco, puerco en salsa verde taco, chicharron taco, tepache chicken rice bowl, and the Papalo salad. All are delicious.My go to's are the tacos, with my favorites being the zanahoria, and both pork tacos. The zanahoria taco consists of roasted carrots topped with dressed greens, queso fresco, and toasted pumpkin seeds. Their chicharron is made from roasted pork belly. It has crispy skin and plenty of meat. Something that sets them apart from other places that serve tacos is that they nixtamalize the corn for their tortillas. They're legit.“

“Their street tacos are good! I know, I know, you do a double take to even stop like, "I don't know if I even want to stop here." But if you do, man, I'm telling you. It's super good. My wife loves the fish tacos. She does the grilled ones, but we've tried the fried ones too. The shrimp grilled and fried ones were also good as well. The Torta was delicious. Had all kinds of meats. Been there twice already, and there definitely will be a third visit down-the-line. Atmosphere could be better, but you do what you can with the streets as your dining hall. I almost forgot the churros. They're just right! Not like those hard rock ones you find at other places where I feel like I could knock someone out with it....“

“The food is Al ??they have some tacos and grilled fajita quesadillas. They also have a meat plate (Fajita, Al Pastor and Bistek) with asadero cheese with bullfighting chilles and grilled onions.The food is ?? they've got some bomb tacos and quesadillas made from grilled fajita. Also a meat Plate (Fajita, Al Pastor(Pork) and Beef Steak) with stretchy cheese along with Grilled Peppers and Onions.“

“The service was great! The two ladies that attended us were kind and attentive. The Trompo taco kids' plate was delicious, and so were the Mexican enchiladas; very flavor! We also ordered the asado de puerco, and that was scrumptious! The only thing that we did not like at all was the order of Guacamole. It was so heavily loaded with white onion that the avocado flavor wasn't even there. I guess it is pre-made, and the onions take over the whole thing. It was also so very cold, so obviously, it wasn't made when ordered. Other than that, all was great!“

“This is me and my BFs fav place to get lunch it’s incredible and so delicious. The workers are very kind and the food comes out fast and fresh. Personally their carnitas is my favorite but all of the meat options are delicious and you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“(Translated by Google) The friendly and fast service, the restaurant clean and fresh and the food delicious, juicy and soft mmm..(Original)El servicio amable y rápido, el restaurante limpio y fresco y la comida deliciosa, jugosa y suave mmm..Parking: Cerca y con espacio“

“I had the pleasure of trying the Sunday Brunch Mexican buffet and I cant boast enough of how good the food was. The wide selection of authentic food was great along with the unlimited refills of aguas frescas. The added touch of live mariachi music was lovely and made me feel in touch with my cultural background. Will most definitely return again.“

“This restaurant has been around since I was a kid and is family owned by some of the nicest people that you will ever meet. Just to start, the carnitas are amazing. The food here is definitely going to bring you back, and the price is right.“

“Service was fantastic. Can’t remember our servers name, but he did wonderful! Very attentive and made our visit comfortable. Enjoyed all of the salsas that came out with the chips. Queso with steak was perfect. The cups were cute and enormous, which is great for my husband because he is always having to ask for refills. We ordered quesadillas and they were delicious. Amazing little hidden gem. Will be back for sure. Definitely recommend!!“

“I love the tacos here. They are great since they open. They have good service. But recently, I’ve been buying tacos and The tacos are getting smaller and the price is going up I got 6 tacos for 20 bucks I don’t mind paying for the tacos . I just want my Tacos to be like they used to when they first started opening. . I expect well taco….. overall they are good tacos just do them like y’all used too plz thanks“

“Went for lunch with the wife at 2:00 pm. Restaurant clean. All the employees including the owner were super nice. Our food was fresh and great. We decided to have margarita. Sorry no pics. Best part it was happy hour so $5 for one was great and then the boss stopped by and gave us another shot to fill our glass back up on the house. Not the greatest I've had but I will definitely will get another one on our next visit. Overall everytime we go there we are always welcomed with open arms and the food has always been fresh and on point.“

“I’ve been on the hunt for a GOOD taco truck in Houston and I’m glad to say I finally found one. These tacos are honestly the best tacos I’ve ever had they remind me so much of Mexico. They package the tacos nicely, the tacos are never greasy and their salsa verde is actually spicy. Will be going here for all my taco cravings now.“

“The food was awesome, it really has an authentic taste to it. Emma was awesome, she recommended the huevos rancheros plate and it didn't disappoint, they had an authentic mexican flavor to them. The tortillas are hand made and really good. Parking is plentiful and wel lite. Service was quick and the coffee was really good. What I also like about this place is that they let you combine food from different plates on the menu to satisfy your own unique taste. Will definitely be coming back to try their lunch and dinner plates. One thing I would've like is if they had natural water flavors.“

“They good was delicious. They had a great variety of meats, pan Dulce, chips and fruit.I got me 2 tacos uno de Huevo con jamon y otro de nopales con salchicha.I also grabbed a fruit mix plate and the fruit was super fresh.Everyone was in a great mood.I would definitely be back.“

“Should you give a breakfast place 5 stars? Why yes you should... it it's the Ranchito in Pasadena. This place is pretty fantastic. We came on a late Saturday morning and the restaurant was hopping. We got the last parking space but only had to wait a few minutes in line for a table. Although the restaurant is extremely busy, (and loud) the turnaround is quick. We had B6 (chorizo and eggs with barbacoa) and B9 (bacon and eggs with marinated pork). Both were huge servings and both were delicious. The servers are friendly and don’t stop moving! We will be back (probably next weekend).“
